SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise
harmful emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitric oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
General conditions which influence fuel consumption
are shown below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary
headlights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles affecting fuel consumption
are shown below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.

SEAT BELT REMINDER (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadily
when the vehicle is stationary and the driver's seat
belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and be
accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened when the vehicle

DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly
closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL (red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum
recommended value. Restore the correct engine oil
level (see “Checking fluid levels” in the "Servicing and
care" section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
